Ever since James Wan made The Conjuring, the real house on which the movie is based has become a unicorn for paranormal investigators.
The house was sold back in May of 2022, and its new owner, Jacqueline Nuñez has turned it into a business with upwards of $1,280 per night depending on the day of the week. The hefty price tag hasn’t deterred curious ghost hunters from doing their investigations there, available dates sell out throughout the year.
Nunez took to social media late last week to address unsavory allegations regarding her business practices and managing style. In an F-bomb-filled rant, Nunez says she is unapologetic for firing staff members that worked there before she took ownership.
“Among the reasons for the dismissal of these people were cruel and hateful verbal abuse towards others, and suspecting that some staff were fraudulent in their investigative methods.”
She also makes aspersions to government officials who are “attacking” The Conjuring House (TCH), but she gives no details about what exactly that entails. Conversely, she applauds people who continue to support her business.
“There are many wonderful paranormal investigators, and honest government people who have consistently supported the paranormal field. Many members of the paranormal community have commended the expansion of experiences at TCH to broaden the interest in paranormal activity that demonstrates the continuity of consciousness.”
Her post has caused some commenters to question her mental health. Renown paranormal investigator Amy Bruni offered her feedback on Nunez’s rant:
“I think maybe you’re feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed. Take a step back, take a breath. Get help. Ask for help, she posted in the comments.
Another commenter, Alex Matsuo, offered his take, saying Nunez may have caused irreparable damage to her business.
“Yikes on bikes. I hope the team at The Conjuring House (TCH) is doing okay amid these challenges as this post from the owner has gone viral. You know that exercise where you write all your feelings down? That’s not supposed to be public.
The language and tone of this post is so unprofessional and combative. It’s important for businesses, especially those in the public eye, to maintain a respectful and measured approach when addressing issues.
You have a location that sold itself. You had a unique opportunity to build a strong community by treating everyone with respect and not exploit not just the people visiting and the people who worked there, but also the spirits. Unfortunately, this post indicates an incredible failure to uphold those values. It will take a considerable effort to regain trust and repair relationships within the community…and I’m not sure you’re going to be able to recover at this point.
I hope I’m wrong.”
On the other hand, some people have nothing but accolades regarding their experience at The Conjuring House.

“We have visited TCH and found it to be amazing! People with such negative attitudes are not worth the effort it takes to respond!! Stay positive and thank you for sharing TCH with all of us!!! Looking forward to a return visit!!”
The Conjuring House has become a famous haunted location ever since the ’70s when Carolyn Perron and her extended family moved into the farmhouse. Her daughter Andrea began to experience strange happenings in the dwelling and even wrote a book in 2007 about her encounters
Here is a quote from Andrea on the Conjuring House’s website:
“My parents bought the place in December of 1970, and we lived there until June 1980. We experienced continual paranormal encounters beginning from the day we moved in until the day the family moved to Georgia. Having graduated from Burrillville High School in 1976, I left the home I loved, attending Chatham College in Pittsburgh, PA. In 1980 my mother informed me that the sale of the farm was pending. I was heartbroken by the news. Despite the trials, it was ‘home,’ and I loved it. Though we abandoned our place in the country, it never left us.”
Whatever Nunez’s intent, one thing is clear, she is running a very successful business which she wants to keep that way. It appears that some in the paranormal community have their opinions about how she does that, but ultimately it’s hers and if addressing her concerns publically is her way of expressing it, then so be it.
